Hopefully the mini sprints aren't back next year. That way all of the porch dwellers around Cincinnati will get out and support the promoters that support mini sprint racing.

I'll only buy the hot dogs... and use extra mustard just to be wasteful and feel like I'm getting into your pocket. Also, just because I'm a sprint car mechanic, that doesn't mean I always want to smell like one, If you could put a cologne sprayer in the port-john along side the hand sanitizer, I'd appreciate it. I mean after all, if the truck stops have them, why shouldn't the burg. Another thing, the dirt has been harder to get off the race car lately. If you could start watering the track with only softened water, I think it would help me to wash the car easier.

As far as the track, the racing, and the continued hard working efforts by you and your team.... DON'T CHANGE A THING!!!! You are all doing an amazing job. I feel it's an honor to be able to say we race the high-banks of Lawrenceburg Speedway.
I don:t care what happens this is FUNNY Thanks NEWMAN trying to say it like Seinfeld

Lord, I hope not.....we've already lost the 1000cc's at Twin Cities and there are not many races at Moler. That would leave slim pickings for tracks near Cincy.

I can tell you, if that were to happen this "porch dweller" won't be driving 2 to 3 hours every weekend to race. I enjoy it, but I also have a life outside of racing.

And are you implying that L'Burg doesn't support Mini-Sprint racing? If so, please elaborate as I would like to understand your logic.

hey, we old timers like the burg and love to see the Mini Sprints there, just wish Dave would run them more then he does. They put on a good show. and if he didn't put them last all the time. He would see more sells in the beer and hot dogs. I know the Mini's are picking up more fans each year. Dave keep up the good work. mother nature did a real good job with this race season so far. Is there any make up dates for the Mini Sprints? We see you made up the other rain out dates. like I said. Dave keep up the good work, you are doing a wonderful job at the burg

Could not have said it better myself.

As far as modifieds. I am sure they put on a great show. But, I drive 2 plus hrs to get to the track. I am within hour from a "Tin Top" track. Needless to say, I am there too see sprints and sprints only. I like to get home at a decent hour to attend church on sundays. If I wanted to see modifieds it is a short drive.

Dave/Kim you guys do a great Job!

With all the cost of running a race track promoters have to do what ever they can to make things work. I like going to a clean bathroom, and not walking in mud in the pits. Just sit back and look at that facility do you think you can run it for nothing. Dave and Kim are great people. They have treated me just wonderful. So go pee in a nasty restroom. sit on rotten seats and and quit Bit#%*.
